Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has revealed that Liverpool’s interest in him last summer “caught him by surprise” while he was on vacation.
Speaking to Diario Vasco, Zubimendi admitted that the intense transfer speculation surrounding him proved to be a difficult period.
“It was an uncomfortable time for me… but I weighed the pros and cons, and then concluded that the best option was to stay at Real Sociedad,” he stated.
Liverpool were heavily linked with a move for the Spanish international, but Zubimendi ultimately decided to remain with his boyhood club.
